No, don't "just get it". Wait until you see whether or not it is a dead end system. I have the M62 and love it, but I would not enter the system if it was being discontinued.

That has implications for service and parts down the road: no new lenses;no new or up dated bodies, and possibly no further firmware updates. Stone .Cold. Dead. There are other systems with the same or similar form factors that are viable.

Parts should be available for the better part of the decade if it happens.

Maybe Canon doesn't have enough 32 MP APS-C sensors for both R7 and M6ii to be in production at the same time.

I am fairly sure that M50 ii and its successors will be in production for years due to popularity of the M50s.
